yahoo vs msn vs google

[neilfriston]

Google is the one search engine that is at the top of the list of search engines. Yahoo and MSN are far behind the competition....

From the search point of view, both the search engines Google and Yahoo are important. Since Google has a 65% search market, Google fares better than Yahoo.

I believe Yahoo and Bing are becoming like Google sooner or later, moving away from the on page elements towards the off site factors. They both are seriously counting the links pointing at websites at present and no wonder most top Google ranking sites are also found at the top of Yahoo plus Bing pages in most cases.

* Query Processing: MSN processes queries for the meaning of the typed words rather than taking them literally and hence is better than Yahoo. However, Google has a much better algorithm.
* Crawling: Google can crawl and conduct a deeper search within websites than the other two search engines. The depth to which Google can crawl depends on the quantity and quality of the link.
* Emphasis on Page or Site: While Yahoo considers the authorization of a site before displaying its page, MSN skips this consideration. In contrast, Google does not display any site or its content until the sites have earned the minimum level of trust specified by the search engine.
* Reputation of Link: While the popularity of a link plays a role in the ranking of a page in Google, it is no longer a very critical factor. Due to its poor crawling ability and late entry into the market, MSN is the worst of the three in differentiating between low quality links and real citations.
* Site Age: MSN is also not good at determining trust scores related to age. While Yahoo gives some importance to older sites, the overall impact is not better than that produced by Google’s SERPs.
* Paid Search: While Yahoo prices their ads in an open auction, Google and MSN both rank ads based on the maximum bid price and click-through rate.

Google is in the top. Yahoo and MSN still lag behind in the competition. Considering the popularity of Google no one is in a position to compete with the giant G.

Well, google is still the biggest but bing is coming strong from behind. My opinion is though that bing will never be better then google but a bit of competition doesn't harm.

Every search engine needs to keep being updated with new features to be better then the other which can only be good for us users. I'm actually glad that bing had become competitive because google and yahoo were dominating the market without any major improvements. Now that bing came into the picture google had some "real time improvements"

If they keep competeing we keep getting better and better services.
